Helps Prevent Septic Backup

Convenient, Easy to Use Septic Tank Treatment

Drain OUT® Septic System Treatment is a convenient, easy to use, pre-measured septic tank and system treatment formulated with billions of bacteria that provide continuous and effective septic system maintenance.

The bacteria, specially selected by leading environmental scientists, produce enzymes which accelerate digestion of both organic and difficult-to-degrade septic waste such as paper, wipes, cleaning and laundry chemicals, oils and grease. These special bacteria strains also have greater resistance to anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners, which can reduce bacteria in your septic tank.

I just moved into a home. How do I know the size and condition of my septic tank?

We recommend having the tank inspected and pumped if needed. The company inspecting the tank should be able to tell you its size, age and condition.

+
How often should I call a professional to pump my septic system?

Most experts recommend pumping every 2 – 5 years. This will depend on the number of people in the household, the volume of wastewater that enters the tank, the amount of solids in the wastewater, and the size or volume of the tank.

+
How will I know if I have a problem with my septic system?

There are a number of signs indicating a problem with your septic system:

Odors may be noticeable.

A black-grey odorous liquid may accumulate at the soil surface.

Liquid drains slower than normal or backs up.

Grass over the system appears greener and soggy or may be spongy to walk on.

The water level in the septic tank is higher than the outlet pipe.

+
Can my septic system freeze?

Septic systems can freeze in periods of extremely cold temperature when there is little snow cover on the ground. If this happens you should call a qualified professional to defrost pipes. Never add antifreeze or salt to the tank or try to run water continuously to defrost the system.

+
What kinds of detergents are safe to use with a septic system?

It is best to use liquid detergents or concentrated detergents that don’t contain phosphates. Avoid antibacterial soaps and cleansers since they will kill off the bacteria within your septic system. Remember it is important to keep an adequate level of bacteria to ensure effective operation of your septic system.

+
Is it safe to plant over my septic system?

Trees and shrubs should be avoided due to potential damage from aggressive roots. Fruits and vegetables should also be avoided since the garden soil and/or the fruits and vegetables can become contaminated with pathogens if the system is not working properly. Meadow grasses, turf grasses, and small shallow-rooted ornamental grasses and plants are a good suggestion for covering your drain field or leaching bed; they can look nice and require little maintenance. Keep in mind not to overload your drain field with too much watering.
